Thrower A1 asks you to give a verbal count along with your regular arm count.

Do you oblige her request?
Absolutely not!! The job to figure out the count isn't the players, it's the coach-assistant coaches. But sometimes the player taking the ball out is heads up to know what the count is and call time out before a violation.
